St. Patty's was great. Got to take the little boy to the parade and then the MIL took him the rest of the day so we can (finally!) get a day off. Went to the pub down the street, had quite a few ales and stouts, listened to the bagpipers that came in, got a couple free shirts and left just after 4pm. Then went home and had a great dinner of corned beef, cabbage, red potatoes and Irish Creme Bunt cake for dessert. Then, more drinking at another Irish pub. Had to cut it short though after a few drinks because the wife wasn't feelng too good afterward.
